Installation Tasks
NOTE: An ISL between fabric elements with identical domain IDs
segments and prevents communication.
h. At the ISL FSPF Cost Configuration field, select By Port Speed or
Ignore Port Speed to calculate fabric shortest path first (FSPF)
cost.
• By Port Speed - The fastest fabric path is determined by
port (ISL) speed. Cost is inversely proportional to speed.
• Ignore Port Speed - ISL speed is ignored, and the fastest
fabric path is determined by the number of hops. Cost is
directly proportional to hop count.
3. Click OK to save and activate changes.
4. Set the product online. Refer to Set Online State for instructions.
Configure Fabric
Parameters
Perform this procedure to configure fabric operating parameters.

a. At the R_A_TOV field, type a value between 10 through 1200
tenths of a second (one through 120 seconds). Ten seconds
(100) is the recommended value. The R_A_TOV value must
exceed the E_D_TOV value.
